The Bracero Group will complete all the necessary paperwork with State and Federal agencies as needed, in the time frames as indicated by each agency.
As an employer, you will need to follow through on all the requirements specified in your contract with The Bracero Group to ensure timely approval status.
Assuming no ‘notice of deficiency’ (NOD) in the application process, delay by the employer in meeting payment requirements, or responses required to fulfill petition requirements or NOD’s, and/or other delays beyond the control of The Bracero Group or the employer, the entire process for approval can take up to 120 days with 75 – 90 days being the average.
It is very important that when you are notified by The Bracero Group of needing additional information, filing and/or paying a fee, etc. that you respond within 24 hours.
An employer’s failure to respond in a timely fashion to the Bracero Group’s requests or inquiries may force a delay in worker’s arrival outside the original ‘petition’ start dates. Delays caused by the employer or delays outside the control of the employer or The Bracero Group, renders The Bracero Group, as not responsible for said delays.
